Nowhere did I suggest it was a solution, so while you're passing out clues maybe grab one for yourself.


As for gun control, I'm all for it in certain aspects, all of which I have posted several times previous to this.

Thank you.

Now take a deep breath, and have a nice day.
1. I never read your post. I was responding to Paul Revere. So, slow down big fella.

2. Regarding your "observation". Yes I guess it would be nice to have a gun if a crazed psychotic Korean went postal on a campus I was on. It would also be nice to have a parachute if I found myself free falling from 5,000 feet. Doesnt mean I'm going to strap one on my back everywhere I go.

And yes I suppose it would be reassuring to me to have a gun in my possession. However that feeling would be wiped out by the 10 times more terrifying realization that every other 18-22 year old on campus is packing heat.

On a side note: Isnt it funny how the exact people that fight so hard for the right to carry a gun around are the exact people nobody wants carrying a gun. Just an observation.
